I am trying on here as I've twice been in contact with Vodafone customer services who both times confirmed I wouldn't receive anymore of these messages but I'm still being spammed.

The message is as followed ...

It looks like you’ve swapped your SIM or updated your software. If you want to continue using data and picture messaging, you’ll need to update your settings. We’ll send you these by text shortly.

I then receive a configuration message straight after. I have literally received around 100 of these messages in the last two days alone. My phone is constantly receiving these during the day which as you can imagine is extremely frustrating.

I only just recently joined Vodafone and honestly and starting to regret this now as I feel messed about my customer services who both said they disabled this message and I wouldn't receive anymore.

My phone is a Samsung galaxy s8+.

I hope Someone can help as writing this message I have just received another 3 messages.

I'm having the same thing. I got a Galaxy S8 about a week ago and in the last few days I've been getting these messages continuously. It generally starts when the phone connects to my car. I wasn't sure if it was a Galaxy S8 issue or a vodafone issue.

Just found this forum post - seems to be a vodafone thing then. Supposedly vodafone can block you from receiving the messages - but I think that would be an issue after an update as that's when you normally get one and need to install the configuration. So not really sure what the solution is!

Very occasionally this can be a network issue (I had itmyself for a few hours once), but it can also be a faulty SIM or an issue with the slot in the phone. It happens if the SIM is disconneced/removed and reconnected/replaced - either that's happening due to a fault or the network is re-registering it. The forum team will be able to investigate for you. In the meantime, though, if you're passing a Vodafone shop, you could ask them to do a SIM swap for you, just to eliminate that.

I'm having the same issue and it's so frustrating. I've I'm Samsung galaxy note8. I cannot see any steps in this thread to follow?! Please can someone help. Contact centre were beyond useless. I've had another two texts typing this message ...
